It makes people uncomfortable when I paused my game to be here you’re welcome shirt, but I’m still learning that it has to be okay because we give away a lot of energy as a smiler and we need to recharge. I needed this today. Get a popsicle stick, cut out a circle to fit on the end, with a huge happy face smile on it. She can carry it around and flash her smile whenever she wants! What a brave girl. Praying for her recovery to be quick. I can imagine she must be very uncomfortable, but she’s very courageous, and her story gives us a lot to think about. She will smile again soon, but most importantly her courage and confidence will bring smiles to so many as she moves through this life and touches the lives of those who are blessed to be in her path.

Best I paused my game to be here you’re welcome shirt

I catch myself frowning, I paused my game to be here you’re welcome shirt! Yes, a break from smiling may not be wanted, but not having it around does make you appreciate it. I had some facial trauma in HS, gotta be brave to face the world when you are not feeling or looking like yourself. Sometimes, we can’t smile. Sometimes, we are going through a very heavy, difficult time Sometimes, we need to honor those sad feelings. I am usually a friendly face, but there have been times in my life when I just couldn’t smile. It’s the gentle souls and spirits near me that were comforting. Thanks so much for this!! This message is so needed this time of year with all the school awards banquets and recognitions given out.
